The dancer in this song is one of my dance teachers. Watch it in class the other day so beautiful. Her name is Whitney Hart wish she could have been linked in this but... It's still very awesome

[leathernluv]

I could listen to that intro all day for a month.

[williamsparks]

I'm 62 year old and have never hear this band until now and all I can say glad I found them. They the shit.

[andrewskones]

and that's what bass tone SHOULD sound like.

[CodeMonkeyZzX]

Finally, now people will see how fantastic this band is! I love all of their stuff but it is hard to say that some of the muse stuff wasn't in more of a niche genre. They evolved their sound to play these driven darker songs that pull it back a bit more than previous works, and I love it. See you on Billboard 100 Polyphia!

[SolarFlared]

I'm hooked, and I'm 60 yrs. old. Nothing beats great musicianship.

[DrSystemAddict]

You know a band is creating a new sub-genre when the comments is trying to define their new style, and can't agree on an answer.

[YourMusicPress]

Clay you have one of my favorite bass tones ever!

[topsiecurrets]

My favorite song, gets me though everything.
2:48 that build and drop, damn just touchs the soul.

[hypershadow]

I've been jamming this nonstop for the past fortnight, if not longer. Its addictive! 2:54 onwards gives me chills every time.

[efrazable]

We need more 8 string bands in this world. Also, IDC what other people say, the bassist is technically impressive and musically fits well with the rest of the band.

[ghostgate]

Too much groove. Groove overload! SPLOOGE!!!

Such a perfectly structured song. I absolutely love the way the bass is emphasized and still complements the others. And that intro is simply beautiful.

I've been a Polyphia fan since the Inspire EP days, and I will say I do miss that Polyphia. Inspire was basically the ideal djent/progressive metalcore/whatever EP to me. I mean, who hasn't watched that Impassion or Transcend playthrough at least 60 times each? haha.

However, you guys have moved on, and I'm happy to say that this new stuff is just fantastic. You guys have matured into a new style, *the* Polyphia style.

Muse was a little rough around the edges, but it was a new sound for you guys and some experimentation was needed.

These newly released singles, however, sound perfect. Love every single track. I know many people will disagree with me, but the great guitar playing, tasty bass licks, and excellent drumming combined with wonderful atmospheric and electronic elements are going to make this easily the best album of 2016 from what I've heard so far.

<3 Polyphia

For the past week I wake up with this in my head and it drives me fucking crazy until I listen to it. Anyone else? No?...well ok.

[TheDemonPowder]

This is straight making-love music right here

[benjaminjentgen]

Each time I listen to this particular track, I'm completely submerged by so strong emotions. It ranges from sorrow or melancholy to pure, deep anger. It makes me wanna cry, I didn't know one track could touch me so deep inside. Melody beyond lyrics, universal language without boundaries.

This band is composed of true mesmerizing, talented wizards. Keep up the great work !

Thank you !

[throbbinwilliams]

I can listen to this song over and over again! what I love the most about it, is that they're just sitting there jamming.

[MukesBoy]

I think one of the main aspects if their playing styles thats incorporated into their music is that they gain inspiration from songs and sounds outside of not only the rock genre all together but from music thats not using guitars at all. Ive seen them state that many times over the years. The last album they had out 2014-2015? was inspired by pop rap and what passes for R&B now. And a lot of it was radio friendly at that. I find it amazing that they can borrow soundscapes from these songs and then arrange and structure their songs around them as well. That's much more complicated than playing Mario Bros. on a bass Vivaldi on an 8 string guitar. I love the sound that comes from these 8-9 string guitars so long as their used sonically well. No one can be Meshuggah or Animals as Leaders; actually no one else can I don't think. Its refreshing to see such talented players using the traditional guitar in such a way. Dimebag said in an interview I saw around 15 years ago when he was asked what he thought about bands moving over to 7 string guitars (anything above that would have probably been considered impractical since there was no genre to support the need of such a thing back then)Dimebag said "They need to learn how to play 6 strings first off" The Fundamentals. These fellas have that in spades with some to spare.
